04 - A book by a first time author

[Robin H-R]

I just finished
The Sweetness of Water by first-time author Nathan Harris and it was outstanding. I used it for the celebrity book club prompt.

I read the 7 and 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hugo

[Jane]

I read "Open Water" by Caleb A Nelson

I listened to the audio of Broken Horses by Brandi Carlile. I was already a big Brandi fan so I'm biased, but this was by far my favorite audiobook experience ever. Brandi sings a song at the end of each chapter, and then there's a bonus chapter at the end collecting all of the songs from throughout the whole book. I love her speaking voice and her singing voice, and it was so beautiful to listen to.

For this prompt, I read The Measure. Very good book for a book club discussion!

I went with The Captain & the King by Jack Champlin, a historical novel about the strange journey of the statue of King Kamehameha on the Big Island of Hawaii.
